Getting Started
The Getting Started section provides you step-by-step instructions to set up and create an AWS Import/Export job.
Before You Use AWS Import/Export
AWS Import/Export supports data upload and download from Amazon S3 buckets, and data upload to Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshots. Convert Amazon EBS snapshots into volumes for use with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). The AWS Import/Export Getting Started steps assume you already use Amazon S3 or Amazon EBS.
To upload or download data from Amazon S3, you need to have an existing Amazon S3 account and be familiar with Amazon S3. For more information, see the Amazon S3 Getting Started Guide.
To upload data to an Amazon EBS snapshot for Amazon EC2, you need to have an existing Amazon EC2 instance to associate with the data, and an Amazon S3 bucket to store AWS Import/Export log files (as specified later in the Getting Started steps). For more information about Amazon EC2 and Amazon EBS, see Amazon Elastic Block Store.
